The Outfit that takes 10 years off

by cecylia on February 27, 2012

If you can’t remember the last time you were asked for ID, if you miss looking like a teenager (minus the breakouts), or being asked to show your Concession card by train inspectors (sure you miss that), just throw on an overall dress. Yes an overall dress! You know, the lil’ denim number lying in the back of your closet. The one you haven’t touched for 10 years. It is the key to youth! Layer a flirty blouse underneath, ease up on the make-up and flash an innocent smile, and you’re set to go, to puzzle and to wow the world. I warn you though, if you follow these rules religiously, you may get asked you what subjects you’re studying at school.

Should have seen the look on people’s faces when hubby, in suit, came to greet me with a kiss. They’ve got ‘cradle-snatcher’ written all over their foreheads. Bet they don’t realise I’m the older one :)

On a more serious note. I find that people who don’t take themselves too seriously tend to look younger. The ones that laugh and joke a lot. Of course, a good diet, moderate exercise and decent genetics help too. But having a bright outlook on life, a habit of always giving thanks, being appreciative, also take years off. So, what are you thankful for today?

Wear: Insight blouse & pinafore, Paula Walden ring; Estelle Deve cuff, vintage clutch, Zu espadrilles
